    Name that car...

    My roommate has a thread like this going on e36-tech so I thought r3v should give it a try. Guess the rare car posted up and if you get it right post another rare car for somebody to guess. This is a one year only american produced car, rear mounted H-6.

    The grilles really distract you from the fact that someone took a sledgehammer to the front end.

                  Not from there, just lived there for a long time. My house was over on 7th St. East, big 7 acre place. I think it's a vineyard, now.

                  Where did you live?

                          The first one is a Maserati Birdcage. It would help if it didn't say the name in the background hahaha.
